About

PrevenTN is a project of the Tennessee Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence that raises awareness and works to prevent all forms of intimate partner and sexual violence.  Evidence-based programs target these forms of violence at all levels of the social ecological model by promoting safe, healthy relationships and strengthening the conditions that support violence-free communities. PrevenTN provides professionals, workplaces, and community members with the tools they need to interrupt violence at its source. Here you will  find trainings, information about programs and initiatives, and data related to violence on the local, statewide, and national levels.

 

We recognize that violence can impact individuals and communities in different ways based on a range of factors, including access to resources and support.  Our approach focuses on promoting safety, well-being, and equitable access to prevention strategies and services. We work collaboratively with partners across systems and communities to strengthen protective factors, reduce risk factors, and support environments where all people can live free from violence. 

 

We have chosen the lotus as our logo because the lotus is a symbol of resilience. Through mud and storms, the beautiful lotus flower blooms, reminding us that hope springs from the darkest of places.  Our work for a safer and more just world is deeply rooted in a resilient hope, like the lotus.
